Fly Tying Lessons with Skip Morris



Skip Morris, Fly Fishing Author Skip Morris

Would you like to sit at a bench with Skip Morris and tie flies with him?


Would you like to ask Skip's advice on making cleaner thread-heads, neater hair wings, easier and better-looking parachute hackles, while Skip demonstrates, explains, and guides you as you tie together?


Skip will give fly tying lessons with individuals up to groups of four.

As of January 2020:

One-on-one lessons with Skip are on hold until we can all safely gather once the Covid-19 pandemic has passed. Thanks for checking out fly tying lessons with Skip. Contact us through this link if you have any questions:

Once one-on-one lessons can safely resume, these are the details for a fly tying class with Skip:

An Hour Fly Tying Lesson One-on-One with Skip

Each hour-long session is:

  • $100.00 for one person;

  • $125.00 total for two;

  • $150.00 total for three;

  • $175.00 total for four.


Beverages will be provided. A deposit of half down will be required, refundable in full up to two weeks prior to the lesson (or lessons) and non-refundable within two weeks of the lesson (which means you'll probably donate half the lesson or the whole lesson to a fly-tying friend).

Skip will ask you questions about what you want to do beforehand so that he can personalize your lesson. If you have certain flies or techniques you want to work on with him, no problem. If you just want to tie some of his fly dressings with him and keep things casual, he'll do that, too.


When and Where

We will booking lessons locally (in the Puget Sound area), and in whatever area Skip is giving a talk or a clinic. Check out Skip's "Appearances" page to see if and when he will be in your area.



So grab your vise, tell your friends, and give us a shout
to set up your tying lessons with Skip!
